Verdict

Fol Hollow is being kept busy and he can record his third succes of the season at the expense of Look Busy and Mey Blossom. The Dandy Nicholls trained colt landed a Goodwood nursery in early August and wasn't disgraced at York last week in another strong race. He is holding his form well he can go very close this afternoon. Look Busy is best in here on official ratings and she ran a solid race last time out when runner up to Perfect Flight at Haydock. Ground and trip ideal again and she must be in the shake up. Mey Blossom couldn't have been any more impressive when successful at Beverley last time out. She will find this tougher but she is open to more improvement. Richard Hannon's Little Big Boy is also worthy of respect, but we return to the gutsy Fol Hollow as the most likely winner.
